Rent a bike

Explore the nature

Located right in the heart of Munich you will find 900 acres of shady alleys, ponds and noisy beer gardens. If you decide to adventure yourself outside the city perimeter you will be amazed to discover the impressive 19^th century Neuschwanstein castle, one of the most extravagant pieces of architecture from Germany. Another option would be to take a boat trip on Sternberg Lake outside Munich or just swim in the lake’s waters.

Eat healthful

Farmers markets are still popular through Europe; they represent the best source of organic and unprocessed food. Elisabethmarkt and Viktualienmarkt represent two of the largest markets in Munich. If cooking is not your cup of tea, you can as well go to a green restaurant, like Prinz Myshkin or Basic Bio Bistro.

You’ll have a pleasant stay in any of the following camp sites – Obermenzing, Thalkirchen or Langwieder See, supposing that distance is not a major inconvenient for you. Surprisingly or not, Munich even has a number of green hotels, varying from the mid range Alter Wilt hotel to the economy Haberstock Hotel.
